Many thanks to the people who responded to my questions about requesters. I have a follow-up question. Things are now working pretty well, now that I have the Intuition manual, but I CANNOT get a border drawn around a requester. I've checked for all (?) the bonehead errors like not attaching the border to the requester, drawing the border with the background color, etc. The only thing I can think of is that my coordinates are incorrect. The manual is somewhat inconsistent on how the LeftEdge and TopEdge fields of struct Border are to be set up. At one point the text says that LeftEdge and TopEdge are absolute (in the window?), but later it says that relative addressing is used, which makes more sense. Which is it? I've tried both - is there another alternative? Also, to draw a box, I've allocated ten SHORTs, storing five (x, y) pairs. The first and last pair are (0, 0), (to match the upper left corner of the requester), and the others visit the other corners. The Count field is set to 5. Is all this correct? Thanks Jack Orenstein
